It was during dinner time when the dad was shouting at his wife because of an unpleasant remark made by her. Then, the mummy retaliated with a barrage of sharp criticism on the dad. The "Battle between the Sexes" went on for a few more minutes AND the young children were listening.
When there was a brief moment of silence, the kids blurted ....
9 y.o. daughter: "Dad, you should stop complaining further. Do you remember teaching me not to talk back during an argument as it may make matter worse?"
7 y.o. son: "Dad, we will learn from you to argue and do the same to you when we grow up."
4 y.o. daughter: "Yah! Daddy! ... if you are angry, you will grow Fat, Fat, Fat and become a Fatty Daddy ..."
Could the daddy carry on with his tongue lashing after hearing all the above from his kids?
The dad finally apologised and admitted that the kids were right and there was peace once more at the dining table ....
So, what do you think was the lesson learnt from the above event?
